discuss production. However,

Team" introduces a dynamic topic
to the agriculture industry.

counts --' the human element,. you
and what can make you and your
farm successful. A seminar on the
topic will be held at the Clinton

Friendly Terms"? Agriculture and
agribusiness are continually faced
with economic and technological
changes which bring stress and
conflict into family life and the
operation of a farm.

will help your family and farm team
more effectively communicate with
otfler farm team members, In-
cluding spouse, employer-employee,
intergenerational; set goals and
design strategies to realize the
potential of. your business and your
family; become more effective at
problem solving; manage conflict
more effectively and understand
why it's not always bad, as Well as
create a more positive and
productive work environment. -
Dr. Jerry Robinson, the keynote
speaker, will address the topic of
"Farming on Friendly Terms". He
is professor of rural sociology and an
extension specialist at the
University of Illinois. He has con-
ducted numerous workshops
throughout North America and won

work with agri-business profession-,

benefit from more information on
AIDS°"'Our students are in- .daily
contact with the public and deal with
various services such as manicures,
pedicures, facials, body massage,
electrolysis, body waxing, and ear -
piercing. What precautions would
you suggest they take in this career?
Do you have any literature on AIDS
that I could give to our students? —

In May 1986, Manitoba Health,
Communicable Disease Control, and
the UniVersity of Manitoba, Depart-
ment of'Continuing Education, spon-
sored, a workshop on infection
control strategies for AIDS and HIV
(AIDS virus) infections. The work-
shop was the impetus for a series of
guidelines that I'm sure are avail-
able to the public and organizations
such as yours. I have a complete set
of the guidelines, and they are
excellent source material. I expect
they have also been updated. You
might request this material for your
students from Manitoba Health and

To answer your question, there
had never been a case of a personal
service worker in Canada becoming
infected with HIV (AIDS virus) from
non -sexual contact with a client or
customer. -
The 'risk of being exposed to the
virus depends on the type of service
performed. There is a potential risk
acupuncture, provide electrolysis,
etc. may come into contact with
blood and, therefore, could be at
slight risk.
To protect' against any infections,
all personal service workers should
follow such good hygiene practices
as the following:
-Wash hands thoroughly.
--Cover any cuts or sores on the
'hands,
-Clean equipment according to
recommended procedures.
-Use disposable equipment where
appropriate.
-Clean anything that has been
contaminated` with blood using
rubbing alcohol or a bleach solution
(one part household chlorine bleach
— such as Javex — to nine parts
water) .
These precautions will protect
against hepatitis B and other
bloodborne infections, including
HIV.
With AIDS being a relatively new
disease, how many family doctors
really know anything about it?

I'd 1' e to think that most family

w that most doctors will refer
any suspected AIDS patients to a
specialist rather than try to care for
them themselves. Those s' ecialists,
I might add, are "wearing a little
thin" as they take on more and more
AIDS patients.

I really enjoy and appreciate the
opportunity to participate in co-op
this year as a graduating student at
the F. E. Madill Secondry School in
Wingham.
I have been interested in ac-
counting since I first walked into my
Grade .11 accounting class. I knew
that I wanted to study accounting in
college, but I.was not sure what area
I wanted to
specialize e
rz in,
• Some of my friends took co-op the
year before and mentioned it to me.
I decided to take the co-operative
education program to help me make
up my mind. Since September, when
we started co-op, I have not
regretted it. •
I do the basic things, such as
general journal summaries, payroll
summaries aed balance' sheets.
Some is done on paper, while the rest
is done on the computer. I have
noticed the different ways that
clients record their information for
the month's transactions.
